Entered Amherst College but never graduated
Early advocate of dietary change in United States

The most important time of my life started when I gained my official Ministry in 1826. This helped me start to sway the masses and start curbing alcoholism and sex in my time. So, what was I to do about the impurities of society? I couldn't preach it, because half the people in church were drunk anyway, and everyone around me seemed to love what they were doing too much to let it go. So, I decided to start to purify the Nation in the simplest form. Purifying the food we eat. Food is a necessity to any living thing, and when you eat pure foods, your body and mind start to become pure as well. So, taking out all the additives of bread and living off the land (Vegetarianism) were two key beliefs of mine. When the food is pure, the rest of you can be as well. And you know what? This worked. Somewhat. In all honesty, I had small followings here or there who had the same ideas I had, but not to the same extent. My goals are simply to build a better America, to put down the Whiskey and do an honest day's work. The way you, Mr Jackson, can help my cause... Ban Alcohol.
Complete and utter sobriety.
No more Whiskey.
No more Moonshine.
No more Beer.
No. More. Alcohol. Forever.
